The U.S. Small Business Administration makes the American dream of business ownership a reality. As the only go-to resource and voice for small businesses backed by the strength of the federal government, the SBA empowers entrepreneurs and small business owners with the resources and support they need to start, grow or expand their businesses, or recover from a declared disaster. It delivers services through an extensive network of SBA field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations.
Small businesses continue to serve as the engine for U.S. economic growth by providing jobs and innovation–and increasing competition to the federal marketplace. Starting and growing a business helps to fuel the engine of small businesses and offers an opportunity to provide products and/or services to our nation’s Veterans.
